Abstract

In the present paper, the exponential stability of the mono-tubular heat exchanger equation with boundary observation possessing a time delay and inner control is investigated through a simply proportional feedback. Firstly, the close-loop system is translated into an abstract Cauchy problem in the suitable state space. A uniformly bounded $C_{0}$-semigroup generated by the close-loop system, which means that the unique solution of the system exist, is shown. Secondly, the spectrum configuration of the closed-loop system is analyzed and the eventual differentiability and the eventual compactness of the semigroup are shown by the resolvent estimates on some resolvent set. This implies that the spectrum determined growth assumption hold. Finally, a sufficient condition, which is on the physical parameters in the system and independent of the time delay, of the exponential stability of the closed-loop system is given.
